 I'm pretty upset with the lack of mysqli support in WP 2.0.4 and I'm
 really surprised that it is a more-than-2-years long issue that is marked
 as "wontfix" by the dev team.

 My situation is that my host set up php5 with mysqli support (which, as
 you may know, prevents php from loading mysql extension) and now I'm stuck
 with a non-working WP installation.

 I tried to run the MySQLi Conversion Tool which is found at
 http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/Converting_to_MySQLi but - despite of a
 successful conversion - WP still says that php is lacking mysqli support.

 I'm trying to work this out but I'm also considering switching to another
 platform.
